I for one am disappointed by these results

[shermandrock]

In q32012, 1,250 tons were moved between waste and ore
In q22013, 1,195 tons were moved between waste and ore
In q32013,    625 tons were moved between waste and ore

We are told:

adverse weather (rainy season)      it rained in q32012 as well right? 
longer haul from pit bottom              how much further from q22013? dercease of 52%? huh?
                                                         the pit does not seem large enough to support this  
                                                         assertion
contractor equipment availability     ummm....huh?  what exactly didi the contractor do? haul 
                                                         his equipment away? when was this known? do we need a
                                                         new and more reliable contractor?

Seems like management is reaching here.

In addition, why were we not told of the diminished gold production earlier? We were advised last q about difficulties in the "zinc" line (someone correct me if I am wrong) in May and June but, that it had been corrected. I would like to have know that.


I could be wrong (again), but I believe as late as those two conferences in late Sept, they were asserting that gold production for 2013 would be 33K ozs. Surely, they could have mentioned this. as they were within 15 days of q/e.


Sheesh......to this point, management has always sandbagged and over delivered.


Why the change now?
